Imagine it is your first day in high school. Strutting along the wide open doors, we are here in front of the school thinking of what lies ahead from the perspective of a middle school grad. I have mixed emotions as to what to expect. Looking forward to meeting wonderful teachers and friends. There is a lot of questions in each and every one of us, thinking of as to where will our room assignments be, who will be our teachers and how we will get along with our new classmates in school. As I observe the new students around me, I felt they are dragging their feet to get inside because fresh from the happy summer days, they are back to the reality of school homework, projects, reports and tests. Some have queries and doubts on their minds; what …show more content…
By the end of the school year I had as many as six after school activities in one year. Eventually, I had ample enjoyable moments and abundance of knowledge doing them; the activities made it worthwhile for me to stay in …show more content…
I believed it was going to be tedious and mind-numbing, but because one of my friends told me drama would be exciting and enjoyable, and they were right it was a pleasure and I treasured every moment of it. Me and my friends kidded and frolicked around; on the other hand, once it came to performances we became serious and took care of each other when ever and where it was necessary. At the conclusion of the year we celebrated by doing our last performance together. Afterwards, we went to Ihop, where we gossiped and ate delicious
Anxiety ran throughout my entire body the morning before my first class of college began. Not knowing what to expect of my professors, classmates, and campus scared me to death. I knew the comparison to senior year of high school and freshman year of college would be minute, but never did it occur to me how much more effort was need in college until that morning, of course. Effort wasn’t just needed inside of the classroom with homework and studying but also outside of it where we are encouraged to join clubs, get involved and find a job. Had I known the transformation would be so great, I’d have mentally prepared myself properly. It’s easy playing “grown-up” in high school when one doesn’t have to pay expensive tuitions, workout a
On the first day walking in that door feeling: scared, nerviness, and open-minded. On my first day at George Brown College walking with confident and excited in the program Career and Work Counselling. The program I always dreamed of being in. One of my classes I have got is called Overview of Career and Work Counselling. Overview of Career and Work Counselling, what it is about, what are we going to learn about and how is this class going to help us in the field as a counsellor? This class teaches me about the history of counselling, and how to counsellor client in a different way. On the first day in overview of Career and Work Counselling class questions in mind like what are we going to learn about? Well we are going to learn about a lot of things and all that has to do with Counselling, like how could we use our skills in the field and learn new skills that will make us a good counsellor. Furthermore we learn about the different ways of counselling. In this class we learn about difference between career and job.

In this essay I will be analyzing the topics we learned in class, also I will be analyzing why we learned these topics and how these topics will help me or any counsellor is a good counsellor. I also will be talking about how I grow throughout the class.
As much as this class has grown together, every one of us has also grown as a unique individual. We have found our talents and interests. These interests have drawn us to different activities and in turn helped shape our lives. Some of us have excelled academically while others have helped improve Summer High School by participating in activities such as Link Crew or ASB. Some of us acted in plays while others shared their musical talents by singing in the choir or performing with our outstanding band. Many of us have preferred to be involved in community service with a group like KEY Club. In addition to these school activities, many of us have invested time in jobs and other community activities.
Trying new things and (except when it comes to spinach and zucchini). At Phillips Academy, I will have the opportunity to try what I wouldn’t have the chance to at Andover High School. For example, I, for some reason, have a desire to learn Russian. The language, with the different alphabet, seems like a puzzle, and my sister would be the first to say how much I love solving puzzles and riddles when I get the chance. Furthermore, I love helping people. During the last period of school on Mondays and Thursdays, I go to gym class
Riley struggled with her first day of school. She felt embarrassed when she was asked to introduce herself in front of her new classmates. She became overwhelmed with all the attention and began to cry in front of her classmates. Empirical studies show that children often feel left out when they transfer to a new school. New students often feel that everyone already has their friends picked out and there is no room for the new student. This often time results in a child feeling stressed and anxious, which is reflected in Riley’s emotions throughout the
The second focus group instead used “comfortable” to describe their overall perceptions of the transition to the high school. One student said they were “comfortable walking in the first day of school.” Another commented, “you get nervous walking into classes at first but you always end up knowing someone in your classes so it was comforting.” Also mentioned was the nervousness of having classes with upperclassman. One shared, “at first I thought they were going to be mean to me, but they were actually very nice.” Finally, all three participants agreed that the August portion of the orientation as the most helpful. One student also mentioned they “got the flow once there had been two A and B days” to understand
One of the biggest lessons I've learned is to never give up and that everything in life happens for a reason. Throughout my entire life my dreams have been put down by society, wether it was a coach, friend, or family member. Everything I gain is because of me and only me. When I started my first year of high school, I knew I wasn't ready to maintain my academics, my social life, and my sports schedule all at once. I was completely intimidated by everything occurring in my life at the time.
I didn’t know what to expect of high school as I sauntered in the doors as an incoming high school freshman. In my first couple of weeks of school, I learned that it was basically like middle school, just a little stricter with different teachers and a different locker. I asked myself “how bad could it be?” Turns out,
Waking up for my first day of class feel so different. It felt like a new start I just wasn’t expecting so soon. I showered and got dressed wondering what the day had in store for me. I looked in the mirror for a while as I mentally prepared myself to be focused and start off the year strong. I walked outside not expecting to see people with the same mindset, but boy I was wrong. 7:30 AM and the streets are full of people happy, ready to learn, and full of life. There was even a man that gave me an overly energized “Good Morning!” Seeing this made me think of high school, where walking down the sidewalk I’d see everyone half sleep and ready for the day to be over before it even began. I never knew of a school’s community to be so ready for starting their
Imagine it is one’s first day in high school. Standing in front befalls the entrance way to your new future, thinking of what lies ahead from the perspective of a middle school grad. One would perhaps have mixed emotions as to what to expect. Observing the new students around the corridors, it transpires as if they are dragging their feet to progress inside, for the reason that they are fresh from the blissful summer days; they are in exchange, yet again, to the reality of school homework, projects, reports and tests. Some have queries and doubts in their minds; what does one expect of themselves getting into a high school life such as this? “What remains in store for me, I wonder…” “This school year is going to be subsequently much tougher
A first day at a new school can always be scary and nerve wrecking. Starting a new school can seem as if making new friends will be almost impossible. In the end a new school calls for new experiences and new friends.
“Beep, Beep, Beep!” It was six o’clock in the morning and my alarm clock woke me up 4to prepare for the first day of my Senior Year. I slowly arose from my deep sleep and strolled toward my closet as if I were a snail. After twenty minutes of contemplating heavily, I finally reached a decision on my outfit. My outfit consisted of a navy blue and light brown elephant print kimono, a pure white blouse, light brown flats, and a silver triangle shaped Aztec necklace. To my surprise the clock struck a quarter to seven, leaving me only moments left to get ready. I jumped into the shower and then prepared for the day I had ahead of me.
Most freshmen like me that enter the school are scared. I think the first week of the school is the easiest since there would not be a lot of homework and what you need to do is to listen to what you need for the class and know other people well in the class. But I am wrong, as soon as you get seated on your assigned seat, new teachers start to introduce themselves and start giving tons of homework. As the bell rings, I start rushing to my next class hoping that I wouldn’t be late. The first day of school is always the hardest since you don’t have any new friends and you have to sit in the cafeteria alone when it is lunch time. As day starting to go by, I found myself getting earlier and earlier to class. Talking starts to increas...
On the first day of college; my teachers said to me; Study hard and you 'll get a degree. The Course 's Enduring Understanding (EU) is ideas, habits, and general comprehension of what students should know or will soon find out. Over the course of my first semester I learned ideas such as studying, sceduding, and trying to fit all that into one week and 5 classes. I also learned habits such as reading, thinking, listening, presenting. We used all of those skills in the course of the whole semester and it kind of got me read for what the other courses where going to bring.
The first day of class was absolutely not that bad as I thought it would be. The time that I picked was great its not to last but its not too early. It s just the right time to get to class. The classroom was as scorching like the desert. It is very hot in the class. It makes write in the class hard to do but that is something I guess I just have to deal with. Just like Columbia is around this time of year. The class also seems to have some interesting people in the class. There was a lot of dance and film majors there so I consider were bound to here some intense story’s.
